Things haven't been going well for Manhattan socialite Carly Hayes. Her father is in prison, her mother is having a mid-life crisis and her personal finances are in freefall. But even on her darkest days, Carly could never see herself working at a boardwalk hotdog emporium on the Jersey Shore...or could she? Roller Palace is the result of a groundbreaking collaboration between mtvU, MSN Messenger and Boston University.

Produced in 1979, this classic short documentary explores the mass media and its impact upon society, uncovering shocking details showing how in many cases it is the media itself that drives the news cycle.

mtvU—MTV's college network—spent over a year documenting the journey of Roller Palace from concept to completed pilot. Camera crews followed students from Boston University's Department of Film and Television and School of Theater Arts as they developed, wrote, starred in, produced, and edited the sitcom pilot.
